was iopted aud ordered to be published:
Resolved, That in view Of the present condi-
ton of political affairs in the city of Alexandria,
with two tickets already in the field and the pos.
sibiity that the nomination of republican ticket

party deem it inexpedient to place before the
voters candidates for the various municipal off,
CTS to be voted for on the 26th instant leaving
individual members of the party free to act and
vote rs they see fit. CHAS. DEARBORN
